Just wondering. You may or may not have the answer:
Is the typical elected position on a School Board for a set period of time, say two years, or does it differ with every individual school board?
**Your statement made me think: What if I ever considered running for a local school board? The idea excites me.
But first, I would need to learn more about such positions.
I don’t know about Joisy but to the west of the Delaware River (PA) School Directors are elected for staggered 4 year terms.
It is purely volunteer. No compensation.
Also allegedly non-partisan. Candidates may cross file for positions on both the Democrat and Republican primary ballots.
I have no idea. I don’t have kids and I’m of the belief that whoever is on the school board should have some skin in the game....IE...kids in the school.
As for the money being spent, that’s what the county tax assessor and finance people are paid to do.
One thing I have seen though, which boggles my mind, is folks running for school board. They say all the right things. Have good ideas. Want transparency, no underhanded crap and no critical race theory crap. No common core. No ridiculous new way to do math.
Just Reading, Writing and Arithmetic. Folks agree with them. They NEVER win.
I think folks are just worn down and accepting of property taxes and school taxes, thinking they can’t do anything about them other than pay them and deduct them from their taxes, that they don’t care.
Everything about the system is wrong. Donald Trump was exposing ALL of it and they got rid of him.
